Title: Valine and its codons Post by: d9esco on Oct 16, 2015 Its codons are GUU, GUC, GUA, and GUG. And this is what valine looks like.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/L-valine-structure-numbered.svg) Let me get this straight, these codons are just building blocks for this amino acid? They get brokenup and rearranged to become valine? Where in the body does this happen? Title: Re: Valine and its codons Post by: 5seal on Oct 17, 2015 The codon is a sequence of three nucleotides. The ribosome reads the codon (found on mRNA) and an appropriate tRNA brings the amino acid associated with the code.
